Journalist and Middle East correspondent Séamus Malekafzali is back to analyze Keystone Ka$h’s bizarre Senate hearing about bestiality. Does the FBI have a peanut butter problem? We then turn to the Houthis in Yemen and discuss their stunning new victory, as well as reports about the IRGC refusing any peace deals with the United Snakes of AmeriKKKa. Lastly, we read a Free Press piece about why Iran and the Houthis’ defeat is nigh.

Check out Séamus’s Substack: https://www.seamus-malekafzali.com/ 

And his article on the Houthis: https://www.seamus-malekafzali.com/p/everything-we-held-on-the-western 

And join us on Fri, Oct 16 at the ErF Gallery for a live screening of Chunks followed by a live talkback featuring Will, Hesse & Podcast About List, tickets here: https://www.erf.nyc/events/chapo-trap-house-screening

What day is this?

Patrick Voss

Damnit I was just going to bed

pepto_azymuth

Haha I was just looking at that picture in the episode art when it dropped. Cool knife!

Twerk dancer

Okay, genuine question for everyone here: which part of this episode do you think deserved way more time the Senate hearing, Yemen, or the Iran discussion? 👀👇

RyKy

I can stay up just a bit longer.

kron

The rare Hump Day Chapo drop? GG Fucking EZ!!!

avery parkway

Dude I just got off my shift and I totally could have used this. Dude it was the Asian coworker who says 2 words to you all shift dude I had my AirPods in like an implant dude

TugNuggins

Christmas comes early..

ggmacd

1 like = 1 new shahed drone for the houthis come on team we can do this

nick schultz

I thought you'd know, who else can we ask?

Declan Kennedy

I've still got like 7 hours of Dark Souls 3 to get through so I'll listen later but I wanted to say "does the FBI have a peanut butter problem" got a solid lol out of me

ggmacd

NYT this morning was acting like no one (themselves included) had ever heard of the houthis. Mf it's april 1975 and you're like "there's a new gang of uppity rice farmers in town called the N.V.A. and you'll never guess what that stands for"

Tristan Clark

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy Ass sat at trough. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

Cody Nicholas Suka

I guess my ex girlfriend can now get a job at the FBI. 🙄

Scam Rodgers

Tbf that 9/11 widow did ask someone to punish Saudi arabia...

Markus Kraköwski

I have NEVER heard someone pronounce Ed Sheeran like that before lmao 1:19:20

MATT TRIANO

Love Seamus but bro is 8% too serious

Wilko

FBI = Fondle Bambi Agency

Lindymizer

No X Files slander please

Travis

Felix begins speaking at 1 minute and 3 seconds

Harry Evans

I rewatched the Hannibal films recently and couldn't take them seriously because I was imagining what it would be like if instead of Jack Crawford it was Kash Patel

Suad Yoon

Felix I learned Arabic as an adult and it’s not that hard 😭 it’s way easier than learning Japanese where you have to memorize thousands of kanji

Jock Litzinger

“Some of those who work forces are the same that fuck horses”- Rage against the machine

Daniel Fitzgerald

wild mispronunciation of "Sheeran" there from Will. up there with the way Felix keeps wrongly pronouncing "Tobago"

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice

Mr. Hands getting his application to the FBI rejected every year because he was groomed by a horse. SMH. Glad Ka$h is finally trimming the beauracracy.

Kapjak

I would believe the current pool of fbi applicants were all tricked into jerking off animals in 80's comedy type situations

Will

Will's got GoT on the brain, Ed "Shireen?" Also, looking at the calendar, funniest outcome is movie mindset and gholvie screamset running simultaneously

Robert Armstrong

Look, I love Séamus to death, but producers: Can we get our boy a better mic or at least let him know that his beautiful voice drops to a sultry, inaudible whisper and the end of his sentences?

Sam Bondurant

Almost October, will we be getting more movie pods soon??

Bellololol

Preemptive congratulations to Laura Loomer for her new role at the FBI!

Dave

Ed Shireen Baratheon

Žiga Iglič

Have you guys seen the eyelashes on even a moderately attractive donkey? Can't resist that.

Mungo Franczak

When appointing an FBI director I feel like presidents should avoid appointing someone who perpetually looks like they’re guilty of something

Brandon Hamilton

When they said separate the art from the artist I finally got that it was an inversion of that trope.

Vaiva

Who tf is Ed Shareen?

Steven Shaw (AKA Shubben Steen)

I love the idea of being trafficked into bestiality. I like to think that there are some sort of Isle of dog pedophiles that are just trying to fuck humans.

Jackson

Dayton Ohio mention by Felix is crazy

drizzly_november

I saw an old Italian guy the other day with a hat that said FBI Jesus - Fully Believe In Jesus.

ploob

Beastiality is legal again!

Skitzaf Raynik

The bestiality thing is for Kash’s Swedish country music gf

Ray

sounds like my relationship with the baltimore orioles ... "oh they're not terrible this year? i should start paying attention"

king_von_diesel

There is actually a feature length film about various animals trafficking a group of innocent people into Africa. Its "Madagascar 2"

John Lima

Ed Shireene? Are the tattoos to cover up grey scale?

N.L. Ington

The FBI is like the Night’s Watch, once a federal agent takes their vows they’re forgiven of their crimes!

ChigBungus

Funny thing is Will was wrong; One of the few times Mulder secured a prosecution was The Fluke Man specifically. The episode basically ends with him being told “it’s a murderer. We’re putting it on trial”

Reece Coren

Matt and Seamus in the same week. How lucky are we, folks

Richard Cochnar

You’re telling me that Ansur Allah isn’t a guy, but many guys?

Ballpark

Mr Hands could have been James Comey without the bureaucracy

Ballpark

Dang it I was too slow to be the first one to make a Mr. hands comment

ChigBungus

Kash watched season 1 of Black Mirror for the first time recently, saw the Pig Fucker episode and went “That poor… poor man. Something must be done.”

Sean

Likely Kash Patel has somebody who he wants to hire who used to be a prostitute

Bi War Criminal

Seamus is Too Serious about everything. Totally silent during the Kash Patel convo and too bristled to laugh at Felix’s pirate joke

Bi War Criminal

It’s grammatically quite easy bc there are very few exceptional tenses and irregular verbs but it is not at all an easy language. I’m pretty sure it’s rated a 5 on the difficulty scale, along with Korean, English, and Swahili

Suad Yoon

Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Korean are all ranked as exceptionally difficult for native English speakers to learn but personally I found Arabic way easier than Japanese to learn, maybe it’s because my Moroccan Arabic professor was running that class like the navy

Lamebot

You guys should go over a map of Yemen with all the translated names for their governates. It rules and reads like the high level areas of an MMO. Arrival of Death and Dragon's Blood Market FTW

Davis G

Ed Shireen Abu Akleh

Syndrome of a Downs

UMMM, Ackshually, Homer Simpson was singing a Muse song. 🤓

Warbs

If you get trafficked by animals thats on you.

Colin

Great ep. Movie mindset is never coming back I am now a MM doomer

Miles

This Kash Patel segment is like white kids doing popcorn reading of to kill a mockingbird

YungCereza

America B is still here

Fernslinger

What if Ed Shireen was actually an allien?

Michael S. Judge

Will, a guy who'd fuck an animal to join a frat has EXACTLY the character of a federal law enforcement agent

James B

hey guys Ed Shireen here cant wait to listen

Epic Cory

Ah love me some Ed Shareeen

Real-Life NPC

Those lyrics were written in Enumclaw, WA, circa 2005.

Reed

Damn I thought you’d know, anyone else?

the dumpist

Felix starts confusing “dubloon” and “blunderbuss” at 1:28:04

Gabe P

Ed Shireen Baratheon

Gabe P

God damnit

Fernslinger

Rough crowd this week Travis but hopefully it’ll pick up

Travis

Eh yeah my timings been a bit off :/

Peen Israel

It is so baffling that someone who is clearly as intelligent as Will fucks names up in such a hilarious and weird way.

Keith

I hear that Sheeran drones off target rather than Macklemore popular hits.

cashedtrapezoid

Almost fell off at tall ladder laughing at Felix’s chimp comment

RainDog

We wouldnt be in this mess if David Lynch was still the director of the FBI

Laurel

It was difficult to hear I agree

Miss Alex

as a former seattle resident who lived off the aforementioned broadway, I appreciate the downtown clip ❤️ fun fact: macklemore lived six blocks from me in cap hill when he lived on millionaires row (yes, many lols)

Miss Alex

fwiw, 15th at roy is BY FAR the best trick or treating street in seattle proper

Brad

Felix! The White Sox are good again I swear!

Madeleine Peterson

will got literally every name wrong, very mush mouthed today

Dustin Nelson

I think they HAVE closed a few X-Files cases properly, like in Quagmire and Our Town

Jake Niemi

Robert E. Lee would approve

b-rar

Ed Shari'an

Dale Gribble

Alternate scenario, SVU cop who had to prove he wasn't an undercover while trying to break up a donkey show ring

shinyfailure

Greyscale would be an improvement

Jack

Yeah I just think Kash probably put a little peanut butter on his balls back in the day on a dare and is trying to justify his shame in front of congress

Stone

But the UAE may break up due to Dubai's connections to Iran. Abu Dhabi cannot stand Iran.

Chuck Finnley

To the point of Ka$h, Ithink the easiest explanation is, some bureaucrat probably asked grok what hiring restrictions to cut. OR we all forget Ka$h was a Qanon guy before getting promoted! Felix may be more right than he thinks.

Kelley

Look, it's a proper noun. You can pronounce those however you want.

Sexual Harry Potter

I was so confused about how this even became an issue until will brought up frat hazing and then it all made sense. Frats are one of the gateways to elite sicko society where you’re tested to see how willing you are to do voluntarily give blackmail on yourself and protect each other. That being said i highly doubt kash is hiring UVA skull and bones vampires anymore or they wouldn’t be this incompetent, they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel for schools that were never even supposed to be part of that club

June

longtime Macklemore Defender vindicated once again, we can't stop winning

Jose Luis Rios

This proves kash believes in werewolves.

Bryan B

Yeah only an ASOIAF head accidentally makes this pronunciation

HotFire888 Idc

Cant wait for the new Daily Mail movie review. The clips are insane

Chris

Nice try James Blunt

Klemke

I read this comment before listening and assumed that Seamus said this but no. Ed Shareen would have made a killer episode title.

Chris

Honestly I’m just glad that the mentally ill guy who sexually obsesses over Felix hasn’t driven you off the platform

Harry

solid ep

Cody Nicholas Suka

It happened after we drifted apart and broke up. She was telling people she had a recording of it (I never saw it).

Michael

Mark Davis should offer up Allegiant Stadium for Macklemore. Not only would it be a classic Raiders move, it would be a way to stick it to Kraft and the Patriots for the“tuck rule” call. Which Al Davis was mad about until the day he died.

Putz

Mr Hands Goes To Washington

nick

Felix has moved on from Ella Purnell to Ella Langley. I assume he will next set his sights on streaming TV actress Ella Bright.

Eamon Short

21:20 I'm shocked they didn't mention Steve fron Deadwood

Kiel Cone

Song at then end?

krumping4

all time new pronunciation record set this episode

DT

Sacramento hates you too ❤️

slimthiccyaddle

Y’all gotta get Recine on, boy been cookin lately

Foresmewithsqualor

Will is so a song of ice and fire pilled that he calls him Ed Shireen

Jacobo

Felix politely and quietly pronouncing ed sheeran’s name…that’s. Good friend right there

Noctor

People from Enumclaw will quickly point out that guy was from Gig Harbor thank you very much.

Noctor

I’m headed for skilled equestrian woman bc it’s either a land of horse girls (freaky af) or a land of horse-girls and either way I can still apply to work at the FBI.

Studio Novaya by Fredrick Edward

Kinsey data showed 7% of cis men surveyed had raped animals. Other psychology research suggests it happens most in rural populations who lack sex education... so yeah maga men are likely raping animals as much as they rape women and each other. This is where we are with their "overton," antics aka dehumanizing the masses to ready for feeding them to the war machine

J

Séamus is good but was really hoping for a dissection of the Daily Wire/Jonathan Majors trashfest.

J

It’s not my fault Felix is hot, don’t yuck my yum

J

COOP!

Federal Boob Inspector Jesus

Found Kash’s alt

Ger Dempsey

Never have I heard an Irish surname given such a Middle Eastern twist, I didn’t think it was possible

Mikey

Ed ShiRaytheon

Jessica Upton

Farsi is easier than Arabic bud. Just say every word reallllly longggggggg and it gives you so much time to think of the next one.

Jessica Upton

Ed “Shirin” is your first Farsi! Good job!

Max Baier

Western media talks about Ansar Allah like they’re Dontos Hollard when they’re actually Lothar Brune

Travis

I think I won that fight

Ben

I know Will’s pronunciation of Ed Sheeran *shouldn’t* make me just as mad as the actual incident. I do know that…

theSTANKMAN

Plankton doing Pink Pony Club is priceless

Alex

"Trafficked into beastiality"?? Kash just watched the first episode of Black Mirror

Reece Coren

Bought an Ansarallah shirt because of this episode

Confidence Scam

Felix immediately walking back his whole opening argument about the Yemenis leaning into the sandal-wearing aesthetic really warmed my heart. Immediately pretended that he thought what he literally had just said was maybe the dumbest argument ever made, couldn’t have been him who said it. 🤣🤣🤣 idk why but after years of loving this show and even liking Felix, I can’t stand him anymore. I love watching him take Ls.

Reece Coren

We are all Iranian hardliners ❤️

Reece Coren

Crying at Will pronouncing Ed Sheeran like Shireen Abu Akleh

Michael Naatjes

My god Macklemore's music (outro) is awful 😖 😅

Michael Naatjes

This Gig economy shit has got dudes fucking horses for a living now huh

Andrew Ratcliffe

Power imbalance in bestiality? Yall forgot about the Minotaur?

Warbs

I appreciate Seamus for pushing back on the whole pirate/privateer thing.

Antichris

i like how theres 'the pasture' and 'the stray' right next to each other. like ya thats where all of our escaped livestock live

Ronee Blakley

does felix pronounce everyone’s last name wrong as a bit or does no one have the heart to tell him

FeloniousUnc

If I ever get to have my own strain of weed, I’m calling it Dick Durbin Poison

montezuma

my father is very pissed about the amount of talented black quarterbacks in the NFL and college, the boomers are flailing and feeling the irrelevance their stupid racism

Fiddypea

From's best ever DLC imo

Robbie The Space Raccoon

Felix is right. The White Sox are essentially the Saudi Arabian military of baseball.

drizzly_november

We have white cornerbacks now though, he’s got something to hold onto.

James Wallace

Okay but that Macklemore song at the end. Kinda slaps.

The Steel Harvest

3000 years? River to sea? Rookie numbers. I just wanna remind all of you that the old gods promised the Irish *everything* off the coast of Iberia over 12,000 years ago. More ancient, more land, more gods. Sorry Israel. Greater Ireland is here to stay and now includes Lebabon.

Eugene Butler

"Alyssa Blue? Melisandra Mauve? Turquoise?" (The correct answer was Teal Swan.)

Alex C

The editor is killing it this ep. Nice work Spence(?)!

Alex C

*smirks in Shia*

Alex C

People from the rest of WA will wash their Hands of i- nevermind

Davis G

It’s super cool and “swashbuckling” how the Houthis are holding UN humanitarian aid workers in arbitrary detention. Weird how this never came up. Maybe have a real journalist like Ryan Grim on to discuss real topics.

Beef

Thanks to Kash, I can now serve the FBI without the 2015 sea lion enclosure incident hanging over my head

THEKILLERWHALE

I thought I was going crazy. God what a dumbass.

Miles Carter

Warning: earnest post incoming. Look, I’m not some huge Macklemore fan but I think calling him a joke was a bit tough. To me he’s like the hip hop version of The Avett Brothers: Too earnest for their own good and should’ve been mildly successful indie artists but ended up becoming big time because the culture just triangulated around them at the perfect time. Then they blew up and became gazillionaires. I was a bit too old but I think Macklemore rapping about his rejection of homophobia, consumerism, and white privilege probably hit super hard if you were like 15 in 2012. Thrift shopping was kinda tight before it became a number one hit if I’m being honest. I think he did some cringey shit when he won the Grammy over Kendrick and he also called Hillary “my girl” in the FDT remix. But the dude has clearly been evolving and always been saying shit that mattered to him and not been a husk of a human. Anyone sacrificing millions to not be a piece of shit is ok in my book.

Ebalosus

Yeah it took me a moment to realise who Felix was talking about, and then I remembered her. She was on Tim Pool and the likes IIRC. Saw her come up again recently, and she's now a Lauren Southern style quasi-trad lifestyle influencer.

Drew

I like how he like islamafied it. Ed Al-Shereen.

bruce

"hezbollah's autonomy makes it iran's most effective proxy" could these fucking people get some editors man

I.P. Freely

White Sox are 1 game out of first fwiw

super criminal

Fingers crossed for movie episode today

Tvvvv

I find it encouraging that the FBI is choosing to open its doors to allowing more white women among their ranks.

Kvvvy

Anyone know what homer is singing at 48:03?

Braedon

Seamus malezafzheli is a real ass journalist, his analysis is always thought out and not sometimes weird and reactionary like grims. Also, holding western aid workers in arbitrary detention in their context makes sense, I don’t know the details but if you had been fighting off imperialists trying to eradicate your people for 10 years why would you allow westerners representing the organization that’s been allowing that to operate in your country.

Davis G

I agree with your first point. I’m just a Ryan Grim homer sometimes. As for your second point… I don’t even know where to begin.
